If you are visiting the Newport, Oregon area or if you live in the area, please go into this market and spend as much money as you can to help support this sweetest and kindest lady/owner named Mai.

Mai herself applied the pain relieving oil on Thavone neck, shoulder and back with a firm, kneading motion. Folks, it worked.

Read moreThe owner Mai is an amazing person and runs a well-stocked and variety-packed asian grocery. She is usually the one in the store, and she can give amazing recommendations (especially on her stock of Chinese medicine), or help you find anything you're looking for.
